Zinc Hyaluronate is a white powder of high purity (approx. 98.43%), intended for cosmetic and dermatological applications. It is characterized by a high content of glucuronic acid (approx. 47.45%), which is an essential structural component of hyaluronic acid. A molecular weight of approximately 1.15 × 10⁶ Da indicates a high-molecular-weight form of the raw material, responsible for its surface and protective properties.
Properties and Action of Zinc Hyaluronate:
This raw material exhibits synergistic action resulting from the presence of two key components – hyaluronic acid and zinc. On one hand, it is responsible for intense skin hydration through its ability to bind water and form a protective layer on the skin’s surface. On the other hand, zinc ions regulate skin processes, including reducing excessive sebaceous gland activity and improving the condition of problematic skin.
Zinc Hyaluronate forms a delicate film on the skin’s surface, which limits transepidermal water loss (TEWL), improving epidermal elasticity and smoothness. The presence of zinc makes this ingredient particularly valued in formulations designed for oily, combination, and blemish-prone skin.
The raw material also exhibits properties that support skin regeneration and improve its overall condition. It can be used in formulations aimed at sensitive skin care, requiring a balance between hydration and regulating action.
Applications of Zinc Hyaluronate:
Zinc Hyaluronate is used in a wide range of cosmetic products:
- moisturizing creams and serums,
- cosmetics for oily and acne-prone skin,
- sebum-regulating preparations,
- dermocosmetics and regenerating products,
- toners, emulsions, and care gels.
Thanks to its good solubility and stability, it can be used in aqueous and emulsion formulations.
